Pressure-jump X-ray studies of liquid crystal transitions in lipids. Discussion

TL;DR: In this paper, a static and time-resolved X-ray diffraction of inverse cubic phases and phase transitions in lipids is presented, focusing on non-lamellar structures and their geometric/topological relationship to fusion processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein stability and the evolution of the cell membrane.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cholesterol partially inhibits the Ca(2+),Mg( 2+)-ATPase as the catalytic function of the calcium pump, when incubation reaction temperatures are below 42 degrees C, and cholesterol apparently promotes enzyme stabilization reflected in higher activity.
Book ChapterDOI

Computer simulation of lyotropic liquid crysta as models of biological membranes

TL;DR: An important function of the lipid bilayer is to act as a passive permeability barrier to ions and other molecular substances and leave the trans-membrane transport to active carriers and channels.
Book ChapterDOI

Chapter 12 – Modeling Signaling Processes across Cellular Membranes Using a Mesoscopic Approach

TL;DR: This chapter reviews one particular advanced methodology based on mean-field-type representations typically used for equilibrium thermodynamic calculations of lipids and proteins that could enable quantitative description of large-scale membrane-associated interactions that are of major importance in physiological processes of the healthy and diseased cell.
Journal ArticleDOI

Path integral methods for the dynamics of stochastic and disordered systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a pedagogical survey of the perturbative, i.e. diagrammatic, approach to dynamics and how this formalism can be used for studying soft spin models.
